Obtaining a Divorce in Lakewood

The length of time it takes to acquire a divorce depends partially on the court your case is in. Lakewood, Colorado is part of Jefferson County which is part of the First Judicial District of Colorado. It also depends on how complicated your case is and if it is contested or uncontested. The simplest divorce will still take at least 91 days. More complex divorces can take much longer, depending on the issues being litigated.

At the start of the process, the courts can issue temporary orders for things like alimony (maintenance), child support, and visitation to provide parties relief as they go through the litigation process. You are also granted certain protections from retaliation or harm from the other party in a divorce. These protections go into effect from the moment a party is served or signs a waiver of service. By law, you are protected from damage to, disposal of, or the concealing of marital property, harassment, certain financial harm (like canceling insurance), and the removal of children from the state without your consent.

As soon as one party is served divorce papers, deadlines for filing a response are triggered as well as deadlines for financial disclosures and setting your first court engagement. At this point in time, you should begin working with your Lakewood divorce attorney so that you have a clear understanding of everything you need to do and all the steps involved in moving forward with your case. You may not realize all the complexities that can arise in a divorce from the financial disclosure process to making decisions about custody, parenting time, and child support that will impact your children’s lives for many years to come. At Plog & Stein, we are knowledgeable and skilled divorce attorneys serving the Lakewood community and can build the right approach for your particular situation.

At the end of the day he was able to produce a settlement that was fair to both parties.I highly recommend Stephen Plog for anyone in need of a top notch domestic relations attorney. After a 27 year marriage, Stephen represented me in a complicated and sometimes bitter divorce with many unique challenges. At the end of the day he was able to produce a settlement that was fair to both parties but limited my alimony payments to only 3 years. He is smart, cuts to the chase, knows the court system in the Denver metropolitan area and can be trusted to get his clients the best possible settlement. Neal
